Master of Education in Montessori Studies

The Center for Montessori Education is pleased to announce our new post-AMI-diploma M.Ed. stream, the Evergreen Cohort. Typically, AMI teachers have been able to complete a graduate degree through Loyola University Maryland in conjunction with their AMI training. Now, AMI teachers who were unable to complete the degree with their training may pursue the M.Ed. later in their careers.

This 36-credit track will allow experienced Montessori Teachers to grow their experience beyond their initial training and enhance their career trajectories. Applicants from all over the world are welcome!

Merit-based partial scholarships available! All applications completed by April 1, 2018 will be considered for awards. See Application Deadlines below.
